[omniORB] purify question

[Richard Hardgrave]

Hello,

I'm running omniORB3.0.3 on an SPARC Ultra1 with Solaris 2.5.1.
I instrumented a servant in my CORBA architecture with purify-4.1-solaris2.
The purify log shows me that this uninitialized memory read occurs twice
every time I run the process.  I believe it is only happening at initialization
time because I do not get additional complaints in the log if I run more of
the servants method invocations.

****  Purify instrumented ./ES_Mgr_Srv_pure (pid 25874)  ****
UMR: Uninitialized memory read:
  * This is occurring while in:

        static omniURI::objectToString(CORBA::Object*) [libomniORB3.so.0.3]


At ORBtraceLevel 20, I also get the following output:

The client & servant applications appear to work, for the moment,
but, should I be seeing that "root<0> -- deleted" message? Or,
is this just a T_var I defined going out of context?
I'm rather much following the coding example from echo/eg2_impl.cc.
